Around 670000 cubic metres of coal tailings poured into the Athabasca on the night of Oct. 31 2013 near Hinton and would spend the next month traveling as a massive plume down the river before settling out in Lake Atha- basca and the delta around Fort Chipewyan. Since then the mines owners - originally Sherritt International but now Coal Valley Resources Inc. CVRI - have been required to complete numerous impact re- ports and long-term monitoring plans including the most recent to be published a human health risk assessment. While those plans have been ap- provedbytheprovincialgovernment andAlbertaEnergyRegulatorAER First Nations in Fort Chipewyan say the majority of CVRIs reports monitoring programs for the Athabasca Chipewyan and Miki- sew Cree First Nations in Fort Chipewyan. They dont know and still havent told us what the When it comes to the companys long-term monitoring plan Ma- clean said CVRI has yet to detail what exactly spilled into the river and how much. He said the plan lacks triggers and thresholds that outline when impacts would re- quire management actions and does not include a plan for data analysis. Furthermore there are no plans to monitor water quality in Lake Athabasca or the Slave River where the plume dissipated. It lacks a cohesive study de- sign Maclean said. Theres been piecing together of different scien- tic mediums various things like sh and water and sediment and while not terrible theres no trig- gers or thresholds involved in it. So theres a lot of research being done but with no clear trigger for what needs to happen. I think thats its great failing. See Report on page 3. despite numerous revisions con- tinue to be deeply awed. Its been 22 months almost two years since the spill happened said Bruce Maclean an envi- ronmental consultant who man- ages community environmental actual content of the spill was so youre really blind there and no one mapped the plume. They did in the water but the fate of most of the contaminants was in the sediment load. No one as far as I can see has done that. Statistically increased concentrations of arsenic mercury selenium and uranium in sh that people consume is a human health issue and this is not sufciently or adequately emphasized in their human health report.

Visit www.rmwb.cachampions Athabasca Chipewyan one of five First Nations in court defending non-compliance with FNFTA By MEAGAN WOHLBERG Lawyers for the govern- ment of Canada were in Fed- eral Court in Saskatoon last week in an attempt to force ve First Nations to fall in line with new legislation demanding they make their nancial information avail- able to the public. TheAthabascaChipewyan Onion Lake Ochapowace Sawridge and Thunderchild First Nations are protesting the First Nations Financial Transparency Act FNFTA known as Bill C-27 which requires that First Nations post their leaders salaries and audited nancial state- ments online. The law was put in place to ensure that First Nation band members have access to the information they re- quire and deserve about basic nancial management prac- tices of their Chief and Coun- cil and to empower them to ensure band revenues are being used for their benet according to Aboriginal Af- fairs and Northern Develop- ment Minister Bernard Val- court. It applies the same principles of transparency and accountability to First Nations governments that already exist for other gov- ernments in Canada. ButlawyersfortheFirstNa- tionsarguedlastweekthatthe lawdiscriminatesagainstFirst Nations violates treaty rights and was put in place without proper consultation. They also said publishing the con- solidatednancialstatements wouldputtheFirstNationsat an economic disadvantage by making that information public for competitors to see. This isnt taxpayers moneythisisIndianmoney saidthelawyerforOnionLake. The First Nations want to be able to provide the infor- mation to their communities privately. When asked by the judge if the nancial state- ments would be provided if they did not have to be pub- lished online the lawyers said yes. All five First Nations re- quested a stay while the con- stitutionalityofthelegislation is decided in a separate case launched through the Fed- eral Court. TheFirstNationshavebeen blockedfromaccessingines- sentialfundingfromthefed- eralgovernmentsincetheyvio- lated the deadline for posting informationundertheFNFTA. For t he A t h a b a s c a Chipewyan First Nation ACFN its nothing new. The band hasnt signed contribu- tion agreements with Canada since 2012 due to disagree- ments over the terms of the fundingwhichwouldprevent theFirstNationfromopposing certain legislation changes. While ACFN receives in- direct funding for essential services it has not accepted funding for band administra- tion including salaries from the federal government since 2011.Thatspartofthereason why the First Nation is refus- ingtomakeitsnancialinfor- mationpublic.ACFNsleader- shipalreadypostsitsnances onlinefortheirmembersand argues thats good enough. We have run our ofces and provided many services to our members with our own revenues. We are proud of the fact that we provide full disclosures on our adminis- tration and businesses to the members of our First Nation but we refuse to accept that Canadacan demandaccount- ability from us when we get no accountability from this government ACFN Chief Allan Adam wrote in a state- ment earlier this year. Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus was in Saskatoon to support the First Nations in court. He called the law un- constitutionalandaninvasion ofprivacyandquestionedwhy the bill was approved without being reviewed by the federal department of Justice. Its clear that the monies are not taxpayers money theyre not part of the public purse as First Nations have always said. Theyre what you callIndianmoniesthatcome fromaconsolidatedfundand the Treasury Board then al- locates them and they go to the department of Indian Af- fairs and are supposed to go directly to our people Eras- mus told the Journal. The First Nations have madeitreallyclearthattheyre quite opento presenting their nancial statements to the federal government and their own membership but theyre opposed to putting it online. Erasmus said there was legal precedent set in 1988 that such nancial informa- tionisprivateandcondential and not to be seen outside of a First Nations membership. He wants to see the constitu- tional challenge of FNFTA dealt with rst before forc- ing First Nations to comply. Though many other First Nations in Canada have not compliedwithFNFTAtheve incourtlastweekaretheonly to explicitly state that they do not intend to comply with the new legislation. Court cases are also pending against the Liard First Nation in Yukon Roseau River Anishinabe in Manitoba and Barriere Lake Algonquins in Quebec. Wedidaquickcalculation and theres roughly 250 First Nationsthathaventcomplied thisscalyearErasmussaid. This is really conservative butifeachofthemhaveatleast 200000owingtothemthen that amounts to 2 billion. Canada is withholding this scal year possibly 2 billion fromFirstNationsthatwould normally have them operate in a meaningful way. Dene National Chief Bill Erasmus speaks with media outside the FNFTA hearings in Saskatchewan last week which he attended to support the First Nation defendants. He said the legislation is unconstitutional and violates condentiality.

The human health report is deeply awed Macleansaid.Ithaserrorsithasomissionsand has a serious lack of referencing and citations that make it almost impossible to get through. According to the company no adverse ef- fects are predicted for the scenarios evalu- ated and no residual measurable effects on water or sediment quality exist in Obed area creeks or the Athabasca River. Yet the human health report notes that mer- curyconcentrationsingeneralshowanappar- ent upward trend downstream from the spill beyondlevelsthatwouldbeexpectednaturally. Arsenicuraniumandseleniumalsoshowasta- tisticallysignicantincreasedownstreamofthe spill though all have been found in concentra- tionsbelowlevelsexpectedtoleadtoahazard. The four contaminants were among many to be measured as exceedances in the river at the time of the spill during initial monitor- ing done by Alberta Environment. Despite those observations Maclean said the report does nothing to address how those contaminant loads spread throughout the food web. Rather than studying the sh most likely to be consumed by humans the com- pany chose to sample sh most likely to be exposed to the sediments overlooking the way that contaminants bioaccumulate or increase as you go up the food chain. Statisticallyincreasedconcentrationsofarse- nicmercuryseleniumanduraniuminshthat people consume is a human health issue and thisisnotsufcientlyoradequatelyemphasized in their human health report...Theyve highly highly underemphasized that Maclean said. WhyarenttheylookingatspeciesthatFirst NationsconsumeFishthateatothershwould havemoreofamercurysignalBasicallytheir rationale is that no one used the water as the plume went by which is a fabrication because people were drawing water as it went by be- cause they were the last to know. Same concerns raised in independent review Thisisntthersttimethecompanyhasheard these concerns. The same issues were posed by a group of independent scientists hired by Alberta Environment in early 2014 to review CVRIs plans called the Water Initiative. Those reviews pointed out critical informa- tion missing from CVRIs monitoring plans including the lack of thresholds. Importantly there is no discussion as to what will be done if impacts or exceedances are found and how to distinguish whether these are associated with the Obed release or instead with the natural variability of the sites the scientists wrote. They also raised concerns about the lack of knowledge of what exactly was in the spill. There is no hypothesis about the expected contaminants that were present in the water containment and other ponds in Obed mine nor systematic evaluation of possible contami- nantsthatcanbemobilizedfromthesolidsthat werereleasedbythespilltheywrote.Without these specic criteria it would be impossible to clearly establish links between water quality guideline violations or changes in ecosystem health or function if they occur and the spill. Alberta Environment and Parks was con- tacted for information on the revisions his- tory of the monitoring plans and how the independent reviews were incorporated but did not respond as of press time.

In that region its the death by a thou- sand cuts Maclean said. Even if its a small increase even if it wont harm you the per- ception is that it will so many people in the community have already voluntarily stopped eating sh. This was the nal straw for them. So with a lack of condence in the traditional food you lose the cultural connection as well and thats a rights violation. That was caused by industrial spill and more importantly by the regulator setting the bar too damn low. There is no hypothesis about the expected con- taminants that were pres- ent in the water contain- ment and other ponds in Obed mine nor systematic evaluation of possible con- taminants that can be mo- bilized from the solids that were released by the spill.

Bartlett said the results of the investigation couldbemadeavailableassoonasnextmonth. Dependingontheoutcometherecommenda- tion could be made to charge the company. But for Maclean and the First Nations two years is a long time to wait for basic answers especially for communities along the river that use the water daily. He and his team continue to wait for the results of the investigation to determine their next steps moving forward which could include legal action against the company andor government.

EDITORIAL COLUMN In order to retain power anything goes So far two things that are bad for Canada stand out in the federal election campaign of 2015. Although climate change is the elephant in the room none of the three major parties are saying much about the impacts and what Canada must do about it. Meanwhile in the recent court case against Senator Mike Duffy no one in the Conser- vative Party of Canada is questioning the leadership of Stephen Harper in spite of the fact that he was obviously responsible for creating the culture of deceit enveloping the ofce of Prime Minister that is being re- vealed in court. The Harper-led federal government has made it clear that climate change is not on its radar and has gone so far as to deny the existence of the role of mankind in the warm- ing of the planet that is taking place all too quickly. That said the subject seems to be a non-starter for both the Liberals and NDP as well. It is barely even being mentioned in their campaigns at least so far. Unusual weather is costing millions of dollars - from ooding to lost crops and ghting wildres across the country. There are predictions that the rising level of the oceans will be devastating. Surely studies must be done to determine the impact on coastal towns and cities not to mention farmland and industrial instal- lations that will be be hurt. Canada has the most extensive marine coastline on the planet. Millions of dollars need to be dedi- cated to sophisticated modelling that will predict impacts and determine what miti- gating measures will be required but that is only the beginning. Billions of dollars should be set aside for future remediation and relocation to cope with the predicted ooding. We are so short-sighted not to act on such things. Both the Liberals and NDP have presented plans for carbon reduction through their respective cap and trade program NDP or carbon pricing Liberals but neither programs are proven and both would take a lot of renement to be effective. Worse still both parties speak of the need for such measures in isolation unconnected to the many other aspects of climate change im- pacts. Meanwhile the Conservatives who do not acknowledge any need for action plus loathe any kind of tax are going in the op- posite direction by fostering the expansion of the oil and gas industry. Finding a method to control corporate carbon emissions is but one aspect of the needed multi-faceted strategy on climate change all of which should be laid out in the campaign platforms of all parties. The fact that they do not means they are ignor- ing the future effects of climate change and that is simply stupid. Such things unfortunately are the last thing on the minds of the ruling Conserva- tives as they wade through the quagmire of scandal at the worst possible time watch- ing their chances of re-election diminishing. Of all the many criticisms of the Harper Conservatives none is more damning than the web of deceit being revealed in the court- room woven by the Prime Ministers Ofce in a blatant effort to mislead the Canadian public in order to retain power. What they did - have been doing and continue to do - is worse than the sins of the Liberals in the Sponsorship Scandal that allowed Harper to take over the reins of power in 2006. That scandal was all about paying out 2 million in contracts to companies that were Liberal friends without proper tendering. Harper took over governing with the promise that corruption would be replaced by transparency and accountability a government that could be trusted. Instead the opposite happened. Harper has to take responsibility for what has gone on under his watch. He is the boss. He hired or appointed the people guided them set down the rules and established the atmosphere in which all this is taking place. The abuse by Harper of the ofce of Prime Minister is unacceptable. He has led the Conservative party astray and must take full responsibility for that. The only honour- able thing he can do at this point is resign. What is most surprising is the absence of that discussion within the Conservative Party ranks. They have set aside not only fundamental conservative values but moral- ity and honour as well just to retain power. Canadians and Conservatives deserve better. Harper has to go. Millions of dollars need to be dedicated to sophisti- cated modelling that will project impacts and de- termine what mitigating measures will be required once sea levels start to rise but that is only the beginning. By TVNZ Research into bad posture has found that technology is causing major health issues with teenagers complaining of neck problems usually seen in adults over 50. Frequent use of laptops tablets and smart phones is impacting heavily on our health according to research gathered by Dr. Giresh Kanji for his book on bad posture caused by devices. Dr. Kanji says he sees teenagers weekly with reversed neck shape from technology. Every week we see a teenager whose shape of their neck has reversed he says. The thing about the spine its like Plas- ticine modelling clay it takes the shape you give it. The weight of the human head plays a huge part in our posture problems according to Dr. Kanji with the weight doubling every 10 degrees we look down. He became a victim of his own research while completing a ve-year PhD involving a lot of computer time and research. I woke up with tingling in my ngers and neck pain and I didnt know why. As I did the research for my book I found out its gravity - the pressure of the head squashes the neck. Dr. Kanji recommends raising screens up for good posture and taking mini-breaks away from your devices. Its that xed posture every minute that squashes the neck slowly and drives out the uid from your discs. Often there are devices that can time-out computers in 20 minutes so you can get up walk around and come back. The average human head weighs 10 to 11 pounds or about eight per cent of the weight of a human body. When youre bending your head over all day looking at your phone thats like putting the weight of a ten-pin bowling ball on your neck.

This is an EXCELLENT opportunity for the Town to be prepared in case the real thing ever happens and a great cooperative exercise between the Town GNWT Federal Government and Armed Forces. Activities will include fire abatement in the Tamarack Court and Axehandle Hill areas. COME ON OUT FOR A COMMUNITY DAY OF FUN AND DISPLAYS There will be a community day for town citizens and participants on the afternoon evening of AUGUST 28 AT RIVERSIDE PARK. THE START TIME IS 430 PM. In the event of rain the event will be moved to the Recreation Centre. There will be static display of Canadian Armed Forces Immediate Response Unit equipment an obstacle course set up and face painting camouflage for community children to take part in. There will be a BBQ snack prepared and distributed to residents in attendance at the community day. Citizens are urged to attend and assist in the exercise by attending the Evacuation Registration being held at the Recreation center from 1000-200 on Thursday August 27.

In fact you will have the opportunity to participate in the exercise if interested by taking part in the registration. Town Councillor Don Webb was councils representative on the planning committee and he noted that 80 Armed Forces personnel are here for the operation. They will be here for a week in which they will be doing fire training for a day and fire smart activities along with community notifications. BENEFITS OF HOSTING OPERATION NANOOK Mental Health Act under public review in NWT By DALI CARMICHAEL For the rst time in three decades the ter- ritory is working to modernize its Mental Health Act to bring it up to standards with similar legislation across the country. Starting in Inuvik on Aug. 24 the Legisla- tive Assemblys standing committee on Social Programs will be touring the NWT review- ing Bill 55 the act to replace the 1985 Mental Health Act clause by clause with the public and frontline workers. This is probably the most important bill that were going to be passing this legisla- tive sitting so the more people we get out to the events and the more people that know it and understand it the better said commit- tee chair and Inuvik-Boot Lake MLA Alfred Moses. We want to make sure that this bill is modernized and that it reects the issues we have in the NWT. The bill has already had two readings in the legislature. Now as the current govern- ments term comes to an end with the terri- torial election taking place on Nov. 23 the race is on to get the act nalized. More powers to initiate mental health care The new legislation makes it easier for those who regularly deal with patients with mental illness to seek involuntary psychological as- sessments for those who need them the rst step in many treatment programs. Peace ofcers anyone that works on the front line if they need assistance or help they canapplytothejusticeofthepeaceorthecourt to get a summons for somebody to go and not get arrested but they can get picked up by the RCMP and get taken to the emergency room the hospital to get assessed Moses said. According to Moses elements of the cur- rent Mental Health Act actually contravene the Canadian Human Rights Act meaning involuntary assessments have been rarely carried out leaving patients without the treatment they need. The act would allow for three-member pan- els to review cases and make administrative decisions ranging from judging a patients mental competency to make treatment deci- sions for themselves to deciding whether or not a doctor can provide treatment despite their patients refusal. Treating residents in the North The bill also calls for more dedicated men- tal care resources in the North making com- munity-based treatment an option for many regions for the rst time. These are the prob- lems Moses expects to hear about the most as the committee sets out on its review tour. Peoplearesayingthattheyneedmorecoun- sellorstheyneedmoretreatmentoptionsthey needsomeplacethattheycangointheNWT Mosessaid.Noteverybodythatwesendoutto treatmentdownsouthhasasuccessfulprogram mainly because its a different program and a different environment and people are being sent away from their family and friends - their biggestsupportsystem.Weneedsomethingin the NWT that can address that. Ideally with a different system the case- loads of frontline workers will be lightened or at least streamlined to become more ef- cient Moses noted making some of the cur- rent resources available more useful. When we rst got elected into the 17th As- sembly and we had our orientation one of the things that stuck in my mind is that mental healthandaddictionsisourbiggestcostdriver in the NWT and we have to nd a way to ad- dress those issues Moses said. We continue to send people down south for treatment and ourcounsellorsintheNWTtheyrebeingover- extended in terms of the clients that theyre seeing. Theres actually a waiting list for a lot of people that need counselling. A lot of people are falling through the cracks and hopefully this bill can address some of those issues.

MLA Alfred Moses Standing Committee on Social Programs PhotoMalcolmGorrillMLA Alfred Moses Tuesday August 25 2015 7 POLITICS TERRITORIAL Broadcaster Dneze Nakehko to run for Nahendeh MLA By MEAGAN WOHLBERG Well-known Northern broadcaster Dneze Nahehko is taking a step back from his work with CKLB Radio in Yellowknife to run for MLA in his home riding of Nahendeh in the Dehcho region. The 38 year-old radio program director with the Native Communications Society of the NWT said he had been mulling over the possibility of running for ofce for a long while and decided to take the plunge with encouragement from his family com- munity members and even NWT MP Den- nis Bevington. Whilepartofthemoveiscertainlyfollowing in family footsteps - his father Jim Antoine was premier of the NWT from 1998 to 2000 - he said his main motivation is a strong de- sire for change at the territorial level. I just dont have a lot of faith in the cur- rent crop of leadership there and I dont think theyre taking us in a good direction Nakehko told the Journal. Theres so much opportunity and potential in the North and I think theres so many voices that are not being listened to. I would like to step up and try to be the voice of the people that are not being heard when it comes to a lot of the big decisions being made on everyones behalf. Nakehko said he feels the territorial lead- ership has been cowtowing to the Conser- vative agenda on issues like regulatory re- form resource development and land claims. Although it is important to work with our federal counterparts we still have to listen to the people Nakehko said. If elected MLA Nakehko said he would be a strong advocate for the completion of unsettled land claims in the territory which he thinks should warrant as much dedica- tion and effort by the GNWT as was afforded the devolution negotiations that wrapped up early last year. One of the main things I see is to bring to some sort of completion our outstand- ing treaty rights and obligations meaning completing the Dehcho Process he said. I think thats a huge thing that would bring about some certainty in a lot of different areas Everything is connected to that everything that affects peoples lives in the community when you talk about hous- ing education health resource develop- ment but also it will be a huge piece of the puzzle when you talk about the rest of the territory. As well he wants to see major improve- ments to the highways system in the Na- hendeh region especially Highway 7 to Fort Liard Nahanni Butte and the B.C. border. Theres a huge discrepancy. When youre coming into the territory from Alberta we have this huge sign theres a place to pull over theres an interpretive centre and when you come into the NWT from British Columbia the pavement ends. Its a big gravel road and a little sign he said. So I think we need to put a whole lot more effort into that area. Though he now lives and works in Yellow- knife Nakehko was born and raised in Fort Simpson or Liidlii Kue and said he contin- ues to consider the community home. Some of the good advice I got was that if youre going to be an elected ofcial then you should represent the people you believe in he said. Ive always believed in the people from over there and even though I live over here my hearts over there. All the work Ive done in my life Ive kind of done it with my people andcommunityinmindThepeopleIbelieve in are the people back home in Nahendeh. If they would have me Id be proud to represent themandrelaytheirvoicesataterritoriallevel. Nakehko was in Fort Liard over the week- end for a youth hand games tournament and said he will now be visiting the communities of the region over the next 14 weeks until the election. The district consists of Fort Liard Fort Simpson Jean Marie River Nahanni Butte Trout Lake and Wrigley. Im going to be hitting the road and the river and the air he said. Nahendehs got six communities and Id like to spend a sig- nicant amount of time in every community to hear the concerns of the people and see what they really want.

NWT election 2015 Whos running for MLA so far By MEAGAN WOHLBERG The majority of MLAs in the Northwest Territories plan to run again in the coming territorial election on Nov. 23 along with some fresh faces.

The ofcial nomination period opens when the writ is formally dropped on Monday Oct. 26. The deadline for ling nomination papers and photos is 200 p.m. Friday Oct. 30. Candidates will have until 500 p.m. to withdraw their candidacy. Changes to electoral districts Electoral districts were switched up slightly last year by the Legislative Assembly based on recommendations by the NWT Electoral Boundaries Commission. In a narrow vote MLAs opted to keep the existing 19 seats but to merge the riding of Tu Nedhe with part of Weledeh into the new riding of Tu Nedhe Wiilideh and to create a new Yellowknife North seat to take in part of Yellowknife and the satellite population along the Ingraham Trail. Though the City of Yellowknife had origi- nally taken the GNWT to court over the con- stitutionality of the new electoral boundar- ies arguing that Yellowknife requires more representation the citys lawyers admitted at the Aug. 12 hearing that it would be unre- alistic to change the boundaries before the Nov. 23 election. Depending on the decision of the NWT Supreme Court the boundaries could re- main as is or the GNWT will be given 18 months to come up with another plan for rejigging the territorys electoral districts in a way that addresses issues of over and underrepresentation.

Deadline for Application is September 15 2015 By MEAGAN WOHLBERG Diamond deposits in the Northwest Ter- ritories could have been formed as a result of ancient seawater streaming deep into the earth via plate tectonics according to a new studybyscientistsinCanadatheU.S.andU.K. The research published last week in the Nature journal builds off a previous study which found water trapped more than 500 km underground to be a result of ocean water recycling. This new study really highlights that process. It clearly demonstrates that ocean water in this case has been subducted via an old oceanic slab into a slightly shallower but still very deep part of the Earth said Graham Pearson a professor of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Alberta and Canada Research Chair in Arc- tic Resources. From there it has pumped that brine into the bottom of the root beneath the Northwest Territories and its made the diamonds. While all diamonds are known to be formed from fluids its the ugly ones - the low- quality cloudy gems - that make the link to ancient seawater. According to Pearson the less attractive stones with a cloudy coat are sky-high in so- dium and potassium and chlorine which is very difficult to get from the Earths mantle. Its a big mystery where does that come from Well we can show that maybe the most sensible place for it to come from is seawa- ter which is basically a sodium chloride so- lution he said. Pearson said the seawater likely became trapped in a massive slab of oceanic crust that was subducted beneath the continent of North America hundreds of millions of years ago. The interaction of the water with the overlying mantle rocks then produced a chemically diverse range of fluids from which diamonds were born and could be carried back to the Earths surface via volcanic rock known as kimberlite bringing evidence of deep underground fluids with them. The beauty of the diamond is that because its such a robust capsule it protects the ma- terial that it trapped at that depth from any subsequent change Pearson said. It liter- ally carries pristine bits of material from right where it came from essentially unchanged. While high-quality diamonds are estimated to have been formed three to 3.5 billion years ago the lower quality fluid-rich diamonds ap- pear to be just a few hundred million years old by comparison. Pearson and his team plan to do further studies to test their theory that the two types of diamonds were formed by similar processes but that fluid-rich stones turned into gem diamonds over time. What we appear to be finding more and more is that the standard model that used to be around - diamonds are only formed in very ancient times 3.5 billion years ago by a very specific process - is not true says Pearson. There are more processes that form diamonds at a whole range of different times than we thought possible. Scientists believe a greater understand- ing of how diamonds form can be used to develop exploration models used to find fu- ture deposits which could be of great value to the NWT the primary source of diamonds in Canada. Ugly NWT diamonds suggest gems formed by ancient seawater PhotoDaveBrosha By MEAGAN WOHLBERG Ministerial travel expense claims will be put through a more rigorous review after an investigation by the NWTs Comptroller General found several claims filed by Indus- try Minister David Ramsay were ineligible. Ramsaywasforcedtoreimburse192.97for per diems and incidentals related to a stay in Montebello Quebec last February following a review conducted last week that stemmed from an investigation by NewsNorth. The ineligible claims included the rental of a luxury Audi A4 sedan claims for a taxi while using the rental car - against territorial rules - and two ineligible per diems. But Comptroller General Bill Merklinger determined that the remainder of the minis- ters expenses red flagged by the media - in- cluding a two-night stay at luxury hotel Fair- mont le Chateau Montebello costing 757.77 - were eligible for compensation. According to Merklinger travel policy al- lows for reimbursement of hotel costs if it was not cost effective to return home between work meetings. That said the department of Finance has agreed to increase its vigilance in light of the recent administrative oversights to ensure any ineligible claims are removed prior to final processing and reimbursement. The prior approach to reviewing travel claims was to have a Financial Shared Ser- vices FSS clerk review and process a travel claim by a minister. The more rigorous re- view now in place as of August 14 2015 is a second level quality assurance review of ministerial travel claims by an FSS manager explained Andrew Livingstone senior cabi- net communications advisor for the Office of the Premier and Cabinet. Our expectation is that this second quality assurance review after the first review by the clerk will miti- gate administrative errors. Ministers submitting ineligible claims will now be sent a constructive explana- tory note outlining the reasons for rejec- tion as well. Ministerial travel reports and expenses will continue to be made public on the GNWTs Executive website at httpwww.executive. gov.nt.capublicationsministerialTR Ministers expense claims to undergo more rigorous review POLITICS TERRITORIAL PhotocourtesyoftheGNWT ENVIRONMENT GEOLOGY A new study on diamonds in the NWT indicates the gems contain elements thought to originate from ancient seawater trapped deep within the earth.

By MEAGAN WOHLBERG A NuVista Energy pipeline spilled roughly 100000 litres of wastewater oil and sand mixture last week in the northwestern cor- ner of Alberta near Chateh on the Hay Lake First Nation located 100 km northwest of High Level. TheleakwasspottedonFridayAug.14after a helicopter doing daily inspection and main- tenance work saw a small area of stressed vegetation along the 5-km pipeline route ac- cording to the Calgary-based company. Thecompanyrespondedwithinminutesof theleakbeingreportedandiscooperatingwith the AER Alberta Energy Regulator and the local First Nations representatives NuVista CEO Jonathan Wright said in a statement. NuVista is investigating what caused the leak from the six-inch diameter pipeline along with AER ofcials. An initial survey shows an area approximately 110 metres by 120 metres has been affected. So far there have been no reports of im- pacts on wildlife. A two-metre-high fence has been installed to prevent animals from accessing the spill area. This is the second major pipeline spill in the province over the last two months. In late June a pipeline at Nexens Long Lake oil- sands facility south of Fort McMurray spilled around ve million litres of emulsion over a 16000 square-metre area of muskeg along the pipeline corridor. The High Level area has been subject to numerous pipeline leaks over the last four years the largest one erupting from an Apache pipeline near Zama City in 2013 which spilled 60000 barrels of toxic wastewater. In 2011 a Plains Midstream pipeline break spilled 28000 barrels of oil near Rainbow Lake. Pipeline spills 100000 litres of oily wastewater near High Level ENVIRONMENT PIPELINE SPILL By MEAGAN WOHLBERG An update on barren ground caribou pop- ulations holds more bad news for herd man- agement and harvesters in the NWT. The initial results of the most recent calv- ing ground survey conducted by territorial ofcials with Environment and Natural Re- sources ENR in June shows a decrease in the number of cows. The preliminary ndings suggest further decreases in both herds compared to the 2012 Bathurst and 2013 Bluenose-East calving ground photo surveys states a letter sent out to renewable resource boards and ENR of- ces across the territory on July 9. Thisisconsistentwithotherrecentsources of information and highlights the need for us to continue to work together on conser- vation measures for these herds. Though the final results of the survey are not yet available the preliminary es- timates indicate the proportion of breed- ing cows in relation to the rest of the herd dropped to 59 per cent this survey com- pared to 68 per cent in 2009 and 2012 and 87 per cent in 2006. The tally suggests lower pregnancy rates and calving rates in 2015 according to the document and is an indicator consistent with a declining natural trend. Calf survival also continues to be low with fewer than 30 calves per 100 cows a num- ber thats remained consistent since 2011. The most recent data for adult cow survival puts the Bathurst herd at 79 per cent 2009-2012. Though thats up slightly from 73 per cent in 2007-2008 the rate needed to maintain a healthy herd according to ENR should be between 82 and 85 per cent. The new estimates on breeding females will be available in the early fall with numbers for the Bathurst expected in late September and the Bluenose-East in early November following a composition survey in October. According to ENR the surveys were done at the peak of calving with good weather and visibility ensuring a high level of con- dence in the coming survey results. The eld survey teams included represen- tatives from the government of Nunavut the Tlicho Government Wekeezhii Renewable Resources Board Yellowknives Dene First Nation NWT Mtis Nation and numerous community representatives. Harvesting restrictions to continue Both herds have been the subject of man- agement actions since 2009. Last year a total harvest ban was placed on the Bathurst out- side of a mobile management zone except for a small allowable harvest for First Nations ceremonial use. Aboriginal harvesters of the Bluenose-East herd are currently bound by a limit of 1800 divided among groups. Both herds are off-limits to non-Aborig- inal hunters. Based on the preliminary results those limits will stay in place during the upcom- ing hunting season. Management actions for both herds will need to be continued the report notes. ENR communitiesAboriginalgovernmentsandco- management boards need to work together. Bathurst Bluenose-East caribou still in decline report PhotocourtesyofENRGNWT A 100000-litre pipeline leak near Chateh is the latest to hit the spill-prone region of Alberta.

A self-proclaimed outdoor enthusiast origi- nally from Indiana this will be Browns third tripnavigatingamajorNorthAmericanwater- shed. In the past he has traversed the entire length of the Colorado and the Yukon Rivers and is hoping to break the Guinness world re- cord for longest solo kayak descent. On Aug. 1 as Brown passed through Fort Smith he sat down with the Journal to talk about his most recent journey. While he doesnt see himself as a bunny hugger as he called it nor an eco-warrior a strong desire to protect waterways has been a motivatingfactorforBrownoneachofhistrips. Iamsimplyinterestedinbig-pictureissues related to water he said. The U.S. has set the stage for the way the rest of the world poten- tially might manage an incredibly sensitive and scarce resource and we havent done it all right it can be done better. Almost three months ago Brown launched fromThutadeLakeBritishColumbia-themouth of the Mackenzie watershed - before paddling throughthePeaceRiverValleyintoAlbertaand up through the Northwest Territories. Along this route exists W.A.C. Bennett and PeaceCanyondamsandsoontheSiteCdam whichrecentlyreceivedpermitstobebuiltnear Fort St. John B.C. I chose this watershed this year because it is unique and somewhat endangered as are most big watersheds throughout the world Brown said. Whatever happens in the Mack- enzie as a result of the Site C dam is likely to happen elsewhere on Earth and if we all pay closeattentionwecanmanagethenaturalpro- gression in hopefully a rational way. A promise kept It was on a childhood family vacation to the GrandCanyonthatBrownrstrealizedhewanted totrylong-distancerafting.Atthetimeheand hisyoungerbrotherhappenedtobereadingabout JohnWesleyPowellanexplorerwhomadethe journeyalongthelengthoftheColoradoRiverin thelate1800s.Inspiredastheypeeredoverthe caverns and into the river the two boys vowed to make the same trip someday. Tragedy struck when Browns brother was diagnosedwithmusculardystrophyasayoung man. Despite the news Brown tasked his fel- low adventurer-at-heart with mapping out a route along the Colorado he wasnt surprised to learn when his brother died in 2012 that he had kept his word. When Brown nally took the trip in 2013 he saw rst-hand the damage done to the river overcenturiesofindustrialdevelopment.Water meters sat vandalized on the shores. Every so oftenhewouldbeforcedtoportagearoundthe many dams along the waterway. He noted the lack of sh in many areas including salmon andtheendangeredpikeminnow.Mostshock- ing to Brown was the fact that the watershed now ends at the U.S.-Mexico border. YoucouldthrowabaseballfromtheAmer- ican side and not hit a single drop he said. By traveling along the Yukon and Mack- enzie Rivers - both being primed for future development that will most certainly have an impact on the biological landscape of the re- gions-Brownhopestocreatemoreawareness ofthefar-reachingnatureofindustrialimpacts on waterways. We as Americans are ahead of you by one generationandthelessonsthatwehavetoteach are important ones Brown said. This has to dowithleap-froggingwhatshappeningonthe Coloradoandtryingtoapplythisintermediate term case to the Yukon and the Mackenzie. In the future he plans to write about each of his excursions to share his first-hand experiences.

These people have fallen all over themselves to be helpful. Bymakinganefforttoprotectwhathedeems as one of Canadas greatest resources Brown hopes to return the many favours.

SpayedNeutered Up-to-datewithroutineshots House trained GracieFemaleBaby Grey tabby Looking for a new home Heres Gracie. Shes the sweetest little kitten youll ever meet and shes so calm and relaxed. Give this sweet little baby kitty her forever home By DALI CARMICHAEL Engineers and researchers from NASA teamedupwithAmericanCanadianandBrit- ish partners earlier this summer to test out a new line of re shelters that use space tech- nology to keep reghters safe on the ground. Through late June and into early August the team stationed itself at the Canadian Bo- real Community FireSmart project CBCFS camp just north of Fort Providence where as many as eight of the new shelters were sub- jected to testing through a man-made re ig- nited by a trailer-mounted Dackermin Torch. According to NASA documents the re shelters called CHIEFS Convective Heat- ing Improvement for Emergency Fire Shel- ters are a joint mission between the NASA Langley Research Centre and the USDA For- est Service. They use materials drawn from a new exible heat shield NASA is developing for future planetary exploration missions in- cluding an outer layer consisting of a woven quartz fabric bonded to an aluminium lm. The NASA researchers were joined by members of NWT Environment and Natural Resources ENR Alberta Environment and Parks forestry research organization FPI In- novations and researchers from the Univer- sity of Alberta the UKs Swansea University and the U.S. Forest Service. The one thats in service today is some- thing called the New Generation shelter said University of Alberta adjunct professor Mark Ackermanwhohasbeenplayingwithrepro- fessionally for decades. Its a composite it has two layers to it. The outer layer is a silica cloth and aluminum foil and the inner layer is breglass and foil. Thats the one that the U.S. re service carries today theres about 200000 of them out there. While the current shelters have saved some lives they are not impenetrable to the forces of wildres. In 2013 a group of 19 reghters perished in an Arizona wildre when their shelters - a last-ditch attempt at survival - couldnt stand the heat. Because of the materials we use the outer skin is invariably aluminium foil Ackerman said.Itisanincrediblygoodreectorofthermal radiation.Thetroublewithitisithasamelting point thats lower than the gas temperatures inside a re which can reach 800 to 900C. It lastsforawhilebuteventuallyitsoftensmelts and the winds take it away. NASA researchers got wind of the tragedy and offered their services with the hopes of molding existing space technology to help those on Earth. Ackerman was limited in what information he could share regarding the results of the testing but said there were some improve- ments from the older tents. They were better than the new gen- eration fire shelter but Im still not sure that the conditions inside were surviv- able he said. Researchers will be returning North in September for more follow-up tests. The CHIEFS tents can only be used once surviving exposure to ames for 1.5 to three minutes depending on weather conditions. They weigh as much as a gallon of milk and are big enough for a single person to kneel in in an effort to combat issues of weight and bulk. Should the outcomes of follow-up tests satisfy the researchers NASA and the USDA Forest Service plan to release the shelters for use by reghters as soon as 2017. Not used in Canada Currently many Canadian wildre services do not use the shelters choosing instead to train staff on the ground to keep themselves out of harms way. Theyre a last-ditch resource said Larry Nixon a re science manager with ENR. The site where we do the burns is good for testing because the soil is actually fairly thin there but a lot of the sites we use up here - if youre out on the peat and whatnot - if its re- ally dry and youve got a lot of organics un- derneath you itll just come along and burn underneath. It kind of defeats the purpose. He noted that high costs - about 300- 400 per unit - and the extra weight of car- rying the shelters also makes them imprac- tical in the eld. Wed just rather keep our crews out of danger he said. That said Nixon appreciated the chance to work with the NASA researchers. Its a great opportunity for our crews to learn more about re behaviour he said. Two re crews from Fort Providence were privy to the NASA studies along with a host of other groups carrying out their own research on the use of solid stick re retardant appli- cators instead of foam measuring spotting distances for re embers testing re resistant cameras and sensors and measuring carbon and gas emissions from the res.
